Photo Album Module

The photo album module allows you to upload photos into the albums you create, so your visitors can view thumbnail images first and then click on these to view the larger sized photo. All photos must be in the standard "jpg" format.
 
NOTE: To make use of these albums effectively you must first resize your photos to display properly on computer monitors. Digital cameras save photos that are suitable for printing but are often too large for displaying on a screen. There are many photo software packages available which allow you to resize your photos to be web friendly. We can recommend some if you do not already have one. As a general guideline, ensure your photo resolution is 72 dpi (this is the default for most camera) and not more than 1000 px wide.
